Ryder's POV

I arrived at Ryan's dorm. Not so far from mine. Although I did told Audrey that I'm at Ryan's, anyhow she won't know where to find it so we won't need to worry about her coming over anytime soon.

I knocked on the door three times.

"Enter the password" Ryan spookily said.

"Cut it out, Ryan"

"Fine" he said and unlocked the door.

Ryan is roomates with Collins so we won't have to worry about his roommate finding out our plan.

Everyone is here, including Phillips. He said that he would like to help us. He's pretty useful to be honest. People would least suspect him so he'd make a great spy.

"Thanks for letting me join" Phillips said.

"You're welcome man" I said.

"So let's get to the plan" Collins said.

"Operation, the folded paper" Ryan said childishly, which was kind of weird but true.

We're hunting over a piece of folded paper.

Deal with it.

"Does anyone knows where's Kevin's room?" I asked.

"I do. It's not so far from here, number 404" Phillips answered.

Told ya, he's pretty useful. Let's just say he's the genius in this group.

"Who's he roommates with?" Tyler asked.

"Uh...this guy name Gary"

Sounds nerdy.

"You mean, Gary Bout?" Ryan asked.

"Yep"

"He's my cousin"

"I didn't know you have a cousin here!" I exclaimed.

"I never talk about my life" he said, seriously. Like he was acting in a movie or something.

"Okay...... So he could help us?"

"No way, he's the nerdy type. So he basically wouldn't wanna get involve"

"Not like steal that paper from his desk or whatever. I mean gather any clues? His routine?"

"Never thought about that" he rubbed his chin.

"So, that's settled then. Ask him that. In the meantime, we'll discuss about the plan when he says no" I said.

"Just now, Audrey went to the library right after school without telling me and she said she was with a friend but she won't tell me. She was being sassy about it and I bet that friend is Kevin" I explained.

"Sassy like...."Don't you mind my business or else!" Ryan said in a very sassy tone.

"Yep"

"Damn, she must be pissed off. Did you upset her or something"

"Well...this morning I overslept and she had to wake me up for the 24th time....."

"Oh, don't you know nothing about girls, son?" Ryan sassy-like spoke.

"No?..."

"They hate guys who's lazy, irresponsible, bossy, rude, overprotective when you're not even the boss of them...."

"That sounds like me...." I said.

"Oh wow, you better change your attitude before they treat you way worse than how you treated her" he advised me.

"She did said that one day she'll do the same...."

"Oh mah gawd! You gonna suffer!" He childishly panicked.

"What does girls like?" I asked.

"Well, they like punctual guys, sweet, caring, very responsible and respects privacy and doesn't boss around" he explained.

"Wait, how would you know?" Tyler asked.

"I have 3 elder sisters" he sassed.

"Why didn't yo-"

"Again, I don't talk about my life" he said dramatically, cutting Tyler off.

"So anyways, the plan?" Collins interrupted.

"We're gonna....."

After thinking about what Ryan said. It makes perfect sense. I was being the bad roomie, not her. She was trying to be free.

Right now, she's like a bird in a cage because of me. And if I don't change, she's gonna treat me like garbage and hate me for life. Starting from tomorrow, I'm gonna be nice to her.

Again, why so loyal, Ryder?

Am I actually in love with her?

No way.

Nononononono!!!

No no no!

"Ryder?"

"Ryder?"

No no no!

"Ryder!"

"No!" I accidentally screamed.

"Looks like someone's dreaming about being a good guy for Audrey!" Ryan said with a wink.

"How'd you know?!"

"I have 3 sisters!" He shot back at me.

"Don't worry, it's obvious that you like her" Phillips added.

"Wha-"

"Yep, the plans and all. Obviously, you care for her" Collins said.

"Okay, maybe I do" I admitted.

"It's okay, you literally live with her. Of course you'll eventually fall for her two goody shoes!" Ryan said.

"Okay, enough of the lovey dovey and let's continue?" Tyler interrupted, sounding annoyed.

"Looks like someone's jealous!" Ryan squeaked.

"Don't make me beat your previous little face!" Tyler growled at Ryan.

"Okay, that's enough!" I shouted, which caught everyone's attention.

"Let's continue the plan like what Tyler said, thank you Tyler" I said which calmed him down.

"So, just in case Gary said no, Audrey might meet up with Kevin again and that's our queue" I explained.

"Who's quite here?" I said as I looked around.

"Ah, Collins and Tyler make a great team" I said and looked at the both of them. "So you both, will go to the library by tomorrow and check on them. Give me a call and I'll decline it as a sign that I've received it. If I call, they might hear you over the phone and notice the both of your presence"

"Me and Phillips will be inside the dorm while Ryan will distract his cousin outside of the dorm."

"How are you gonna get him without noticing?"

"You'll have to distract him. You'll be on the left side of the door to distract him and chat with him, you know? Cousin bond or something while the both of us will run into the room from the opposite side and if Kevin so happens to be done, give me a call and I'll decline it as a sign that yet again, I've received it"

"And lastly, Tyler and Collins. You guys must listen to Kevin and Audrey's conversation. It's super important that you know what they're talking about. So that's the plan"

They all nodded.

"If Gary agreed. The plan will just be him outside of the dorm with Ryan on the lookout. And he'll also tell us some few info he knows about his roomie"

Watch out, Kevin. We're gonna get you!
